I went in the Cabala's Gun Library a couple of years ago and they had a near perfect 38/44 Outdoorsman in the case listed as a .38 M&P with some crazy low price on it!!

Stupid me, I told them what it was, and they yanked it out of the case so fast I didn't see the guys hand reach in there after it!

I told the guy. It was the right thing to do.

But he lived up to the deal.

A pawn broker...trust me...he did just fine on the deal.
 
I bought a 6½" .38-44HD in very good condition, perhaps 90%, that wasn't explicitly marked as a K-frame but it was priced like it at around $280. I happily traded a well-used Redhawk .44 for it and not long thereafter traded the .38-44 for a Mundenized, pre-lock 629MG. About a $600 sixgun at the time with $200 worth of tuning, that shoots into 2"@50yds with preferred loads. Wish I could find a similar deal on a similarly nice 4" .38-44 like the one you just stole. :neener:
 
850 and maybe another 100 for the transition model and that's a conservative guess.
 
Following World War Two, Smith & Wesson assigned the letter "S" as a serial number prefix on they're K-frame Military & Police model. They also used the same letter on various N-frame revolvers during the same period.

Too many folks that don't know this jump to the conclusion that "S" = K-frame guns, in particular the Military & Police model.

Tis not true. :uhoh:
 
That's the bigges K frame I've ever seen. Someone scored a nice 38-44.
 
I know. That's what I meant. That's the first N frame model 10 I've ever seen. ;)
Someone got a great deal on a great old revolver.
I'd have paid that for an old K frame in that condition. The fact that he got a very valuable old N frame for the price of a nice K frame is just icing on the cake.

Or should I say, YOU got a great deal, Guillermo. I am envious of you, but a also very happy for you. It's good for it to have gone to someone who can appreciate it.
I don't have enough thumbs to put up for you, on this deal. You should buy some lottery tickets.
 
No problem, Guillermo. I'm not mad at ya. Just a little envious. Like I said, I'm happy for you.
Plus, I'm happy enough with my new SR9.

The reason these are not common is because nobody wanted to "drag" that thing around. If you're into stuff like this $400 is very good price. Personally I would rather have ubiquitous K frame .38 with RB and anorexic barrel for less money.
Click to expand...

You should not have a problem finding one. :scrutiny:
 
You ought to go onto the S&W forum and look at one guys collection of 38-44's, I think he's got close to 30 of them, some even with the boxes!

You didn't get scammed G. , wait til you hold that honey in your hands, nice!!!
 
How come we ain't got a "jealous" smiley on this here forum?

We sure need one right now.

The other feller on the S&W forum that specializes in HDs is Aspenhill. He's got some web pages about them too.
